CouchDB uses the PUT requests to create new databases, documents,
designs and views documents and it uses DELETE to (shockingly) delete
records <http://couchdb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/basics.html#request-format-and-responses>.

WebDAV also uses the PUT and DELETE methods:
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4918#section-9>.

The first draft of all the HTTP REST APIs I write support all the
different HTTP methods but they usually don't make it out into
production because not many people know about them.
